[Healeys] liquid under spark plug?

[John Vrugtman]

I have these on both my Healeys, they are great, but, one caveat.  The 
valve cover with the gasket installed, must be able to lie flat enough, 
so that a thin probe, feeler gauge, will have some resistance all around 
the edge.  I tried it first without that test and wound up with a very 
oily engine compartment.  The method I used, was to hammer down the lip 
with a rubber hammer, where there was a gap on a flat surface.  Worked 
great, with no damage to the paint, and no leaks at all.
